2157年8月5日,凌晨三點,草原生態保育P區,史密斯列車669Please respect copyright.PENANA2Gr00vMGR4
669Please respect copyright.PENANA93FYPxybH6
669Please respect copyright.PENANAJD0utBfFOa
經過長時間的行駛,史密斯列車離開海底隧道、抵達非洲。沿路的自然風光及熱情居民,多少洗刷掉泰勒死去的不安。再幾個月就要實行計畫,史密斯內部不宜再有突發狀況,所有人都在心中祈禱,希望這幾個月能平安順利。669Please respect copyright.PENANAORxcyl41ZL
669Please respect copyright.PENANAMT7MmI61fc
安靜的夜晚,排行老三的艾琳.史密斯躺在床上。她最近比較少發作,所有人──包括她自己──以為事情正朝好的方向發展。669Please respect copyright.PENANArCUJgRIe2f
669Please respect copyright.PENANAS5mNcNGivr
可惜終究事與願違。669Please respect copyright.PENANA2buE0KtEm6
669Please respect copyright.PENANAcCjfdJCbre
「……!」669Please respect copyright.PENANAhFCONa726S
669Please respect copyright.PENANASVa3HvLD1Y
沒來由地睜開眼睛,艾琳發現,一名陌生的女孩正站在她旁邊。漆黑的房間,女孩穿著一襲紅色和服,留著可愛的黑色短髮,漆黑的眼珠映照出艾琳驚恐的臉。669Please respect copyright.PENANA3slYXcTG8k
669Please respect copyright.PENANABZgI9Eiv2c
「是誰……!?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAaQNtuyXQ7S
669Please respect copyright.PENANAjvsOIV7zTx
艾琳嚇得裹住棉被、縮到牆邊。房裡突然出現陌生的人,艾琳很害怕,可是,她沒有向外求救。669Please respect copyright.PENANAlo57lCfEMJ
669Please respect copyright.PENANA88btT992BN
她覺得好熟悉。669Please respect copyright.PENANALOOTy401DK
669Please respect copyright.PENANAJw9GR1AGAo
彷彿在哪見過女孩,或者,與她相似的人。669Please respect copyright.PENANA0WelQpP3En
669Please respect copyright.PENANA7J4dme785q
「我是MIO(みお)。」669Please respect copyright.PENANA8DFwuSsB9d
669Please respect copyright.PENANA7C2lFP3d9w
女孩很有禮貌地自我介紹:「MIO的み,MIO的お。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAZdUUli3iDo
669Please respect copyright.PENANA31n1AHBPtN
「MIO……?」669Please respect copyright.PENANA2Wd0Uv41hG
669Please respect copyright.PENANArsWs2k1K0r
聽到這個名字,一瞬間,艾琳感到迷茫。她的意識突然飄到很遠、很遠的地方,嘴巴自己說:669Please respect copyright.PENANAA113sTPTjx
669Please respect copyright.PENANAxwf5vVkXBl
669Please respect copyright.PENANAy4fPmWeF2k
「不是MIA(みあ)嗎?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAMCiOftiiqY
669Please respect copyright.PENANAngQretN2WI
669Please respect copyright.PENANAjuIPdCca3p
MIO睜大眼睛,剎那,艾琳飄走的意識回來。她不知道自己剛才說了什麼,但顯然,MIO動搖了。669Please respect copyright.PENANA5EV1lJ8Xyj
669Please respect copyright.PENANAl3v3CKezkl
「我現在不是MIA。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAZkAzFQzZKQ
669Please respect copyright.PENANApxK843Vq33
MIO動搖的時間沒有太長,她很快就恢復理智,告訴艾琳:「我是MIO,是博洋的MIO。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAz9gANSnVjP
669Please respect copyright.PENANAOxGpFA0f30
艾琳聽不懂她在說什麼。669Please respect copyright.PENANAm4aNEuLVfv
669Please respect copyright.PENANAFvGk2szEkb
「妳呢?」MIO突然指著她,「妳是誰?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAv4kEZrA6Gn
669Please respect copyright.PENANAI9gKpqazmh
「我……」艾琳愣了愣,「我是艾琳(Irene)。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAFwA3fH87HB
669Please respect copyright.PENANAeiAlu9eMhf
「不對!」MIO嚴厲糾正:「妳不是艾琳!」669Please respect copyright.PENANAedjusfM8QM
669Please respect copyright.PENANA2cR9XvCNP1
「我一直是艾琳啊。」艾琳糊塗了,「我是艾琳.史密斯(Irene Smith),我……!」669Please respect copyright.PENANAyPnvH7Ghzq
669Please respect copyright.PENANAqxlhlPG6fY
「妳是葛蕾絲(Grace)。」669Please respect copyright.PENANA7CNgqkROhq
669Please respect copyright.PENANArTLWH0VOIK
MIO說出了那個名字。669Please respect copyright.PENANAFq3pr8Ht26
669Please respect copyright.PENANAMduwQ9JJXs
「你是里奧的妹妹、尼可的媽媽。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAdW7xycHIri
669Please respect copyright.PENANAAp0h1mwDFN
「……不。」艾琳的視線飄到一邊,「我不是……」669Please respect copyright.PENANAwi2RQWs2Oz
669Please respect copyright.PENANA3sYJ9dF2pe
「妳是懷特。」MIO自顧自地說:「嫁到希波克拉底,妳還是懷特。」669Please respect copyright.PENANA5EsSSIV3MO
669Please respect copyright.PENANAeJkhfMV9H6
艾琳連破碎的語句都吐不出來。就在這時,MIO張開雙臂,面無表情地說:669Please respect copyright.PENANAfE1lC04ACR
669Please respect copyright.PENANAruu89IXp24
669Please respect copyright.PENANA8F2hUOQogz
「回來吧,葛蕾絲。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAYz5yH3gtI9
669Please respect copyright.PENANACcbGzjnyFB
──她的聲音來自神社。669Please respect copyright.PENANAxveMsmxnNs
669Please respect copyright.PENANA41fsGEJf6W
「有人渴望妳的回歸,這是以人命為代價的『交換』。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAwryPWmJzOM
669Please respect copyright.PENANAejrsGFv7JM
──神社供奉的不是高宇維,是MIO。669Please respect copyright.PENANAUTkssA7C0N
669Please respect copyright.PENANAFCjFWb9Ytr
「所以,回應這份渴望吧,葛蕾絲。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAPFTk3XaLwH
669Please respect copyright.PENANAIcks8ZFDgQ
──這是「MIO」的意志。669Please respect copyright.PENANAo4hp9ig8u5
669Please respect copyright.PENANAsZrnUHtbg8
「『交換』成立。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAS98mXtQi2R
669Please respect copyright.PENANAXNC2jhmc6T
669Please respect copyright.PENANA4XSrg3SmAv
「……!」669Please respect copyright.PENANAeS9EAD3sNN
669Please respect copyright.PENANAVfEyz9soI1
話甫落,艾琳的眼前一片空白,只覺得頭很暈、很暈,天旋地轉,彷彿墜入一片未知的黑暗中。她抱著頭,來到一個奇怪的地方。她的房間不見了,床也不見了。艾琳坐在一棵大樹下,空氣又濕又悶,目光所及的地方、長滿白色的香菇,密集得讓人不舒服。669Please respect copyright.PENANAXa8XAAvQu4
669Please respect copyright.PENANATiI6jPUcax
「這是,什麼……?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4xetwUKCh
669Please respect copyright.PENANAL5SRtjjHsH
艾琳試著呼喊,周遭一個人也沒有,只有上千朵香菇圍繞在身邊、虎視眈眈地盯著她。艾琳看得眼花撩亂,打算起身,發現自己動彈不得。669Please respect copyright.PENANAsNLNeFLuLs
669Please respect copyright.PENANAtxGW8dcInc
「啊……啊啊!」669Please respect copyright.PENANABq3AIAR0AX
669Please respect copyright.PENANAUYyCpbIdQt
下一秒,艾琳的右手臂長出一朵一朵香菇。她嚇得跌在地上,想把香菇拔掉,但一用力,手臂就疼痛無比,香菇的根已經深入她的皮肉。她的左手臂也長出香菇,然後是腳、肚子、脖子……蔓延到臉上。669Please respect copyright.PENANAX5O0ZoOdrK
669Please respect copyright.PENANAyAonapYnSa
「不要!不要啊……!」669Please respect copyright.PENANA1hL3of1cAs
669Please respect copyright.PENANARHhmpIjE0m
香菇正在吸收艾琳,她的身體越來越虛弱,整個人倒在香菇群裡。669Please respect copyright.PENANADoDc7IpBcQ
669Please respect copyright.PENANAlvcgoEqNDs
669Please respect copyright.PENANAuLesw4POxu

「救……我……」669Please respect copyright.PENANAPo0TLJTzJX
669Please respect copyright.PENANACwRcXo78Q0
669Please respect copyright.PENANAWEYOv46ZBS
伸出的手停止顫抖,不出幾秒,她整個人被香菇吞沒,一根骨頭也不剩。669Please respect copyright.PENANAc51MvOUG57

669Please respect copyright.PENANAyjfb4pIKnd
669Please respect copyright.PENANALmmFvhyYvu
「……!」669Please respect copyright.PENANAN6pn1lopdv
669Please respect copyright.PENANAzyT7KugG9S
睜開眼睛,葛蕾絲.懷特從艾琳的床上醒來,MIO人已不見蹤影。669Please respect copyright.PENANAQ4Bb7Ueoev
669Please respect copyright.PENANA9hRAvpp8fK
「哈……哈……?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAcMRsyey5rO
669Please respect copyright.PENANAb6Lhm5AGPp
她喘著氣,一時沒搞清楚狀況,直到看見自己的銀白色長髮,葛蕾絲才意識到,自己復活了。669Please respect copyright.PENANANuEuPjbL3T
669Please respect copyright.PENANAsbebxDZRxG
「真的……假的……?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAO5qO6Gr1V1
669Please respect copyright.PENANAunOwem3Qye
要復活,事情沒那麼簡單。葛蕾絲發現床頭櫃上放著手機,上面顯示今天的日期:2157年8月5日。669Please respect copyright.PENANAluiHKQC6zm
669Please respect copyright.PENANA4Gz33yVgq8
「2157?才十幾年……?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAPrrmcNeEfV
669Please respect copyright.PENANArOoZmPrHlL
葛蕾絲瞪大眼睛。再怎麼順利,也無法用這麼短的時間復活。所有被寄生體的記憶都留在葛蕾絲腦中,其中,艾琳生前的最後一刻,遇見一名紅色和服的女孩,葛蕾絲知道她是誰。669Please respect copyright.PENANAAP6xnR05uE
669Please respect copyright.PENANARW1eEkZPM1
「那個……我記得,是NAGI(なぎ)的女兒,叫作MIA。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAjdik9J5INC
669Please respect copyright.PENANADi2nTyPpPP
葛蕾絲低頭沉思。她的髮色和里奧一樣,但她沒有琉璃色的眼睛,而是和尼可拉斯一樣的藍色。669Please respect copyright.PENANAW5jmffRP0x
669Please respect copyright.PENANA6EBuaKC5It
「交換……原來如此,是假海龜。用她的水果塔,我確實能立刻復活,但代價是……人命?誰的命?誰跟那女孩許下這種『交換』?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAUwUVV8YaXT
669Please respect copyright.PENANAxdwmueqzPt
葛蕾絲越想越不對勁,這時,她注意到艾琳的手機桌布。那是一張全家福,所有的史密斯兄弟姊妹聚在一起,每個人臉上都掛著大大的笑容,看起來十分溫馨、幸福,看得葛蕾絲十分心痛。669Please respect copyright.PENANAXCzCHLJCdR
669Please respect copyright.PENANA6OvIaKA0uo
她環視房間。艾琳.史密斯,房間的主人,成為她復活的祭品。強烈的罪惡感湧上葛蕾絲心頭,她看著艾琳的手機桌布,兩行眼淚當場流下。669Please respect copyright.PENANA73gkSXmIYm
669Please respect copyright.PENANAfevVHTKF52
「我的天,妳還這麼年輕……!」669Please respect copyright.PENANARelVDnbaSD
669Please respect copyright.PENANAxXUyYuyk8S
這名妙齡少女因她而死,葛蕾絲將艾琳的手機放在胸前。雖然沒資格悲傷,葛蕾絲的心還是好痛、好痛……她因艾琳重生,無辜的艾琳卻因她而死。669Please respect copyright.PENANA0BhzElPu1h
669Please respect copyright.PENANAzyreouZlze
「對不起……親愛的,對不起……!」669Please respect copyright.PENANAJBDdhqrN0s
669Please respect copyright.PENANAR5B521tfDZ
生命自有盡頭,葛蕾絲寧可順應天命,也不要用犧牲他人的方式復活,所以她千交代、萬交代,絕對不能這麼做。葛蕾絲相信里奧,也相信他的丈夫,和MIO交換的不是他們,那又會是誰?669Please respect copyright.PENANA1S4rN2B9MX
669Please respect copyright.PENANArHfrqbDIVB
「……。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAYZEJkh2tlt
669Please respect copyright.PENANAa1z9qCkLFx
抹去眼淚,葛蕾絲振作起來。她必須在被發現前、逃出史密斯列車,然而,手指碰到窗戶的剎那,警報器竟被觸動,刺耳的「叭──叭──」聲響起。警報響起的瞬間,窗戶也豎起一根根鐵柵欄、當場封死。669Please respect copyright.PENANAr25nzhvl0w
669Please respect copyright.PENANAPnnedy3T2m
葛蕾絲瞪大眼睛,下一秒,身後的房門被踹開,奧斯卡與眾史密斯兄弟姊妹衝進來,包圍了葛蕾絲。669Please respect copyright.PENANAS0MGQDWOw5
669Please respect copyright.PENANAQNwMYy8U0o
669Please respect copyright.PENANAk9AnTgzmr0
「果然是妳,葛蕾絲.懷特!」669Please respect copyright.PENANANGQvqYeJIy
669Please respect copyright.PENANA94AS2HJeRq
669Please respect copyright.PENANA093t9pjqnR
奧斯卡率領其他十個弟妹,所有人手裡都拿著武器。奧斯卡對葛蕾絲大吼:「死得不乾不淨的東西,妳對我妹妹做了什麼!?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAEKlhM5Xi4d
669Please respect copyright.PENANAszoup6S5Fk
身為懷特、里奧的妹妹,葛蕾絲自然不是泛泛之輩,她非常冷靜。669Please respect copyright.PENANAt7RKe5B041
669Please respect copyright.PENANAhXcXax2TtF
「死了。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAwfNeRXth2F
669Please respect copyright.PENANAu3JKXzjJ7Y
她伸手,將銀白色的長髮撥到背後,「艾琳.史密斯,已經死了。」669Please respect copyright.PENANAlAB13iQ3w6
669Please respect copyright.PENANASq757MSDy7
葛蕾絲的話使現場一片譁然,奧斯卡氣得握緊拳頭,突然,坐輪椅的特蕾莎.史密斯開口:669Please respect copyright.PENANAuepVwWZf9Q
669Please respect copyright.PENANAdFmbUH1mfm
「泰勒哥哥也是妳殺死的,對吧?」669Please respect copyright.PENANAybgi45pzr4
669Please respect copyright.PENANAILYqZA7QW3
「哈?」669Please respect copyright.PENANA1JZNPEpn8S
669Please respect copyright.PENANAfSYBQVRAqw
其他人沉默。葛蕾絲露出不解的表情,「甘我屁事,那傢伙不是自殺嗎?」669Please respect copyright.PENANARmUrKQ6kzo
669Please respect copyright.PENANAA1eX9pNVfp
「泰勒哥哥才不會自殺!」特蕾莎咬牙切齒,「是妳!妳用艾琳姊姊的身體,殺了泰勒哥哥!」669Please respect copyright.PENANASNdR2BY1it
669Please respect copyright.PENANAXZOC3yIac8
「小鬼,沒有證據,就別亂說話。」葛蕾絲露出不屑的表情,「沒教養的東西。妳如果是我女兒,我一定把妳打死。」669Please respect copyright.PENANABNUbY6ISAq
669Please respect copyright.PENANAxk2RNbYVGP
「有妳這種母親,我也寧可死。」669Please respect copyright.PENANA75wF7PZ9BC
669Please respect copyright.PENANA54OcMKYMgu
這話不是特蕾莎說的,而是奧斯卡。他的臉色非常可怕,好像矇上一層陰影,看來他相信了特蕾莎的話。669Please respect copyright.PENANAzrLU9WEHaI
669Please respect copyright.PENANAs7lx7nMCEg
669Please respect copyright.PENANAGir8UXjioQ
「殺了她!!」669Please respect copyright.PENANA7Io5Bg36s3

669Please respect copyright.PENANAYhNnHUgH1Q
669Please respect copyright.PENANAi2yqVA6SEK
奧斯卡一聲令下,所有史密斯一湧而上。葛蕾絲徒手迎擊,用腳踢開所有武器,左右手輪番出拳,打在敵人的胸、臉、肚,將史密斯一個個打退。奧斯卡率領眾弟妹、準備展開第二波攻勢,葛蕾絲以極快的速度,將房裡的長桌踹到他們面前、逼他們後退;奧斯卡等人剛躲過長桌,回神,發現葛蕾絲不見蹤影。669Please respect copyright.PENANAzoGgbKqWhw
669Please respect copyright.PENANAw8jcUPp7oy

史密斯列車很大,整整十五節車廂,每節車廂都有半個籃球場的長寬。所有對外門窗都被封死,葛蕾絲知道自己遲早會被抓住,此刻的她需要救援。669Please respect copyright.PENANAa68M14ZlrQ

669Please respect copyright.PENANAN3togWAUQ9
